Where Would I Be: A 5-Day Devotional With Peter BurtonSample

Where would I be if I didn’t have hope?

Hope is one of the most important things we need in life to keep moving forward. Hope keeps us looking to the future expecting and believing that better days are ahead. Hope drives our level of encouragement, and encouragement spurs us on to keep going.

Without hope, we have no future, no vision, no joy. We need hope not only to survive, but also to live the life that we were created to live. Luckily hope isn’t a feeling that fluctuates; it has a name and His name is Jesus. When He took up the cross for the sins of the world and rose again from the dead, defeating death once and for all, an eternal hope was given to all those who put their faith in His name.

Where would we be if we didn’t have hope? Thank God we’ll never know.
